The Vizhinjam International Seaport Thiruvananthapuram(English IPA: ,VIZH-in-jam in-ter-NASH-uh-nuhl SEE-port thir-uh-vuh-nuh-thuh-PUR-uhm) is India's first deep water container transshipment port, currently under trial run from July 2024. Located in the city of Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, the port is designed to be a multi-purpose, all-weather, green port located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) away from the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport. It is poised to become India's first automated port and holds a unique position as the only Indian port directly adjacent to an international shipping lane. The port's location offers a significant advantage: it lies just 10 nautical miles (19 km) from the heavily trafficked east-west shipping channel connecting Europe, the Persian Gulf, Southeast Asia, and the Far East. The port has natural depth 20 meters reducing the need for dredging. It possesses the capability to host world's massive cargo ships such as vessels of the ULCS container ships like the MSC Irina. The port is designed to accommodate large container ships, including those exceeding 24,000 TEU such as MSC Irina. The cruise berth under construction along the breakwater will be able to handle large cruise ships such as Icon of the seas. The Seaport's location offers an advantage as it is situated near an international shipping channel, facilitating connections to global trade routes. When fully commissioned, it is expected that the seaport may have the capacity to cater to 50 percent of the container transhipment needs of India that currently take place at Dubai, Colombo and Singapore. The first phase of the project amounts to 8,493 crore, and the remaining phases cost 20,000 crore making the total cost 28,493 crore.
